At the time of release, my high-end PC could barely run it… not to mention the bugs.
And I was not too happy about the new perspective and lack of the promised party.
But what bothered me most was the gutted, retconned story that lacked continuity.
Still, it would’ve been a great game had I not played the others.

You're not. Before Skyrim and Deus Ex HR and Fallout Vegas came out, U9 was in my all time top 10 RPGs. It was my favorite Ultima although in reality it really wasn't an Ultima game. And yes, it wasn't playable until years after its release.

As far as Will Wheaton, he expertly plays a dickwad scientist in Eureka. I didn't even recognize the guy until I saw the credits. I had to go online and check out his bio to see he put on some weight and got a tad older.

You guys seriously haven't been watching BBT? Funniest show I've ever seen. Maybe it helps that it's so relevant to me… Except that my "normal" wife loves it just as much. We watch it together. I laff at a role-playing or math joke… she laffs that they made a role-playing or math joke. :-p

Laff Tracks are like fingernails on a chalkboard to me now. I stopped watching network sitcoms a few years back and now can't even listen to 20 seconds of that stuff without violently leaping towards the remote for a channel switch (not an exaggeration). I know BBT and other similar shows are filmed before a "live" audience, but it's that fake live audience where they laugh based on cue cards held up at the appropriate time (aka a "live" laff track).

And I'm not trying to sound elitist here. I used to watch sitcoms like crazy, but once you give them up, you can't go back.
